This is the black crime game they play in NY.

Typically done by kids, so this is a bit different.

Hope they keep him locked up for quite a while and the lady gets ok.

My mom is that age and I would not look kindly on anyone who did that to her if I caught him on the streets.
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington
